If there is any message that we need to get inside of us so strongly that we never doubt it again, it is the message found in Psalm 100!
1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing! 3 Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name! 5 For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations.
"For the Lord is GOOD"! When we realize that God is LOVE, we will never believe that He operates in anything but love towards us! When we realize that God is LIGHT, we will never accept that any form of darkness is from God. And when we realize that our God is GOOD, we will never again expect anything but good things FROM Him! Look at James 1:17:
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
AMEN! Now John 10:10 makes even more sense to us!
10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
Refuse to allow the enemy to discourage you by telling you that when anything bad happens to you it is coming from God. HE DOES NOT OPERATE THAT WAY! The Lord our God does NOT resort to bully tactics to try to force us to do things His way! HE puts the choices before us and encourages us to make the right choice! The WISE choice! The choice/choices that will cause us to walk in that wonderful abundance of LIFE! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with "Alive":
Shalom in Him!
